TECHNICAL FAQ
Questions for application planning
What is the main difference between TZ-FEP-401 and TZ-FEP-402?
The listed viscosity ranges distinguish them: TZ-FEP-401 is lower viscosity and TZ-FEP-402 provides more controlled flow.
Is a lower-viscosity ferrule adhesive always better?
No. The required flow depends on the clearance, fill path, dispensing method and the areas that must remain free of adhesive.
What process details should be provided?
Provide the ferrule and fiber materials, fill geometry, dispensing method, thermal-cure capability and finished-part inspection requirements.
